Complex symmetric weighted composition operators on the Hardy space

Abstract:  This paper identifies a class of complex symmetric weighted composition operators on $H^2(\mathbb{D})$ that includes both the unitary and the Hermitian weighted composition operators, as well as a class of normal weighted composition operators identified by Bourdon and Narayan. A characterization of algebraic weighted composition operators with degree no more than two is provided to illustrate that the weight function of a complex symmetric weighted composition operator is not necessarily linear fractional.
